Fans who have struggled to secure tickets to the popular shows will now be in with a chance to catch a performance, with organisers urging theatre-goers to "act quickly as these shows will sell out".

"The response to Pop-up Globe has been astonishing," said Dr Miles Gregory, artistic director and founder of Pop-up Globe.

"We've been overwhelmed by both demand for tickets and the most amazing feedback from many people who, like me, have loved their experience at Pop-up Globe."

More than 80,000 tickets have been sold, and 20,000 school children have attended performances of Shakespeare's masterworks, since the Pop-up Globe opened in February.

The season has already been extended once to meet demand, and for weeks people have been "scrambling" to secure the standing 'groundling' tickets which were the only ones still available, organisers said.

"We're very grateful to Auckland city, our neighbours, supporters, sponsors and partners all of whom have been instrumental in allowing Pop-up Globe to pop-up, and now stay up, so Aucklanders can enjoy more of these very special performances," Dr Gregory said.

"Most of all I'd like to thank Auckland for welcoming and embracing Pop-up Globe, the world's first temporary working replica of the second Globe theatre. I don't think Pop-up Globe could have popped up anywhere else in the world. This is a very special project in a very special place."
